“Attaining 1 million engines produced is always an important milestone,” said Terri Burden, Flint Engine plant manager. “But this is particularly special because it comes as we prepare to launch an engine that will be a key part of GM’s global engine program for many years to come.”

“Flint is GM’s first engine plant to embed its own hourly workers in the powertrain pre-production process,” said Jim Stack, operations launch manager at Flint Engine. “Having Flint employees working side by side with the engineers and pre-production teams allows us to streamline production processes and improve product quality before production begins in the plant.”

Once the equipment is installed for the latest engines, the first production versions of them will head to Lordstown, Ohio, home of the 2016 Cruze, before the end of the year.

What are the changes between the current 1.4L LUJ/LUV vs. the new one? Adding direct Injection, or anything else?
Hopefully, this is also a sign the Sonic will be included with the Cruze. (A good power bump on the RS would help, though GM doesn’t seem interested in competing with the Fiesta ST)
